Argentina wins KL futsal meet

JAKARTA: Argentina won the KL world 5s futsal (indoor, 5-a-side
soccer) tournament after beating favorite Brazil 3-2 in the final
match in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Sunday, according to a
report.

The victory was decided by a golden goal after both teams were
level 2-2 in regulation play. The winner earned US$50,000 of the
total US$150,000 on offer.

In the plate category, which was played among the group
runner-ups, Japan defeated Thailand 4-3 while Malaysia won the
bowl category, competed among the bottom-placed teams, with a 5-4
win over Indonesia.

"This is the best we could give. We prepared only two weeks
for the tournament. This team comprises players mostly from the
students' league," Indonesian team coach Ureas Rhantoknam said.
